NFL General Discussion

They had Vince Young in preseason.

I'd pay money to watch that happen.

ETA: How can a team like the Packers who have always had really good backups find themselves in this situation?

Would take VY over Seneca Wallace any day, at least he offers something a bit different. Probably wouldnt suit that offence though.

I'd rather have <insert dead or very old quarterback> than Seneca Wallace.

Edited: original post on phone didn't have the bit in brackets!

The Incognito/Martin story is getting really bizarre!

News over here running this morning that many Dolphins players (past & present) who know Incognito view him as an "honorary" and 100% not a racist.

That voicemail is *apparently* incomplete and at the end Incognito asks Martin, in a casual manor, to call him back, which he did. He also played it in the locker room & had a laugh about it.

Tannehill weighing in that Martin is like Incognito's "little brother".

This is getting stranger by the day!

I'd imagine a lot of macho banter like this happens in NFL locker rooms. All the players and ex players seem to be siding with Incognito, practically calling Martin a pussy.

That's certainly how it's coming across in the media.

Goodell has appointed lawyer Ted Wells to conduct an independent enquiry that has no timetable & will be made public.

The whole $15k Vegas thing has apparently been blown out of proportion as well.

Have we though? The only back up to start a game since 1992 is Matt Flynn, who since creating Packer Records in 2011(in a shoot out win over the Lions), has lost a QB battle in Seattle and been cut by Oakland and Buffalo.

Our backups last year, Harrell and Coleman, were horrific.

Aaron Rodgers expected to be out between 4 and 6 weeks

What a blow that is for Green bay

The target for Rodgers return is Thanksgiving against the Lions. We play Eagles, Giants and Vikings before then. Might have a chance.

No.

Based on what?

I think Wallace will be a competent, but not spectacular, reserve for the next few games. The running game will take a lot more focus, to run down the clock and prevent shoot outs. I'm hopeful that with a week's prep behind him, we have a more suitable offence for him.

Now reports coming out saying Martin had issue with all the veteran players!

There are two really good articles on grantland about this today. One which collates a lot of the reaction from players and another which connects this to the spate of suicides by players and ex players.

Airing dirty linen in public seems to have pissed off a lot of players.

More crazy stuff coming out about Incognito. A woman accused him of battery and generally being a dick. (Skip to the statement on page 3).
